Trinidad’s 50th anniversary cigars are produced at Cohiba’s exclusive El Laguito factory. This Havana cigar is known for its rich, aromatic and medium intensity flavors. The PilotType20ChronographTrinidad Special Edition reflects all the richness of this iconic cigar. It comes in three forms of 45mm rose gold, yellow gold and white gold. Each edition is limited to 50 pieces. The bottom case is engraved with the ｢Trinidad50thAnniversary｣ memorial mark.

   The ElPrimero star-speed self-winding column-wheel chronograph movement is in the same vein as the world’s most accurate series of chronograph movements, which will also reach the age of 50 in 2019. It drives the central hour and minute hands, small seconds and chronograph functions, which are clearly visible on the clear and easy-to-read dial, with oversized beige light-emitting numbers, unique tobacco leaf patterns, and the Zenith and Trinidad logos.

   These collectibles complement the Trinidad signature Havana brown calfskin strap with a protective rubber lining with the same logo on the inside and a 18K rose, yellow or white gold pin buckle that matches the case. As part of the exclusive Trinidad cigar box developed to commemorate the brand’s anniversary, the same unparalleled PilotType20ChronographTrinidad Platinum Edition will be auctioned during the Habanos Cigar Festival.

   Zenith and Habanos S.A., two legendary manufacturers, are both authentic, precise and excellent. Each of them combines passion and expertise into the creation of excellence, bringing unparalleled enjoyment to experienced connoisseurs. The cooperation between HabanosS.A. And Zenith has always been successful, first with the Cohiba brand and now with the Trinidad brand. The Zenith and Habanos brands share a common philosophy of excellence, refinement and uniqueness. The former is a Swiss watch factory with more than 150 years of innovative tradition and expertise; the latter is the world’s most sought-after famous cigar brand.

Zenith: the future of Swiss watchmaking

   Since 1865, Zenith has been actively promoting excellence, precision and innovation in a spirit of truth, boldness and enthusiasm. The visionary watchmaker Georges Favrre-Jacot, shortly after the founding of Zenith in Le Locle, Switzerland, was awarded the precision timepiece certification and won 2,333 precision timepiece awards in just a century and a half, creating an unparalleled record.

   The watch factory is famous for its 1969 ElPrimero legendary movement. The accuracy of short-term measurement is close to 1/10 second. Since then, more than 600 movements have been developed. Today, Zenith has made new achievements in time measurement, including the DefyElPrimero21 movement with accurate time measurement to 1 / 100th of a second; and 21stcenturyDefyLab is the world’s most accurate watch, opening up a new pattern of mechanical watches. Zenith fought hard, and with a proud tradition of innovation and daring to think first, he actively wrote about himself and the future of Swiss watchmaking.
